This document reviews several ultrasound cases of the female pelvis and fetus for radiology oral board review. It aims to teach residents how to interpret ultrasound images and identify normal and abnormal findings.
Common structures that should be identified include the fetal head, limbs, stomach, bladder, umbilical cord insertion and placental location. Later in gestation the four chambers of the heart and brain anatomy can also be seen.
An ultrasound exam may include measuring the amniotic fluid index (AFI) to assess for polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios. Fetal biometry such as head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur length may also be measured to estimate gestational age.
